#Create a Baseline

If you are on the Baselines page, refer to the following steps to create a baseline:

1. Click Create baseline in the upper-right corner of the page.

2. In the Basic Information step, complete the following information:

   • Baseline name – Enter a unique name for this baseline.

   • Description – Enter an optional description.

   • Source tenant – Select the tenant you want to use as the source for the baseline. Elements will only retrieve the supported configurations from this tenant to generate the baseline. For the supported configurations, refer to Supported Baseline Configurations.

     Tenants displayed on the Tenants page are displayed, and you can search for a tenant by the tenant name. Tenants with the Expired status will not appear in the list.

   • Baseline color – Select a color for this baseline.

     You can define a color for each baseline according to its priority, making it easier to identify the priority of each baseline wherever the color appears.

3. Click Next.

4. In the Configurations step, all configurations from the source tenant are displayed and selected. If there are configurations that you do not want to include in the baseline, deselect the checkbox next to it.

5. Click Next.
